Tina checked the sauce and then prepared a pot of water to cook the noodles in when the time was appropriate. Bette suggested that they have a glass of wine and go sit in the living room for a few minutes while the sauce simmered. Tina tasted the sauce and added the sugar and stirred it again and covered it to simmer some more. She accepted the glass of wine and went with Bette to the living room.
Bette: You know, we did a lot of walking today.
Tina: Yeah, but we saw a lot of beautiful plants and art. There were a couple of pieces that I would have bought on the spot if they were for sale.
Bette: Yes, I saw a couple of really nice pieces as well. Maybe we can get in touch with the artist a little closer to the time we move and see if they have anything similar or that attracts our attention even more.
Tina: That’s a good idea. But what about the art you have here? What are we going to do with it?
Bette: Well, some of it we will sell. Those pieces we both want to keep, we keep. If it doesn’t fit in our new home, we will definitely sell it. For some of it, I have enjoyed it for a long time and it’s time to get something new. It’s time to let someone else enjoy it. I want our new home to be an expression of both of us. I want art that best represents our new life together. And I want to dispose of some of the old stuff.
Tina: Well, we are definitely keeping that piece in my office. I will not part with that one.
Bette: And you won’t. I love that piece as well. Of course, we are going to have offices at the Peabody Foundation which will need art which expresses our personalities. So, some could end up there.
Tina: Oh, that’s right. Or we may want new pieces for that as well.
Bette: Exactly. Now have you heard from Helena lately?
Tina: No, I think they will be back here in Los Angeles next week to do some serious office searches. Once Helena and Peggy decide then they will call us in consult on the layout of the offices so they can start the renovations. I really do not expect them to call on us until maybe the end of April.

It’s so important to be aware of the history and how people fought for rights that nobody should take for granted. I have read about gay people who can be fired just because they love the same sex, it’s truly awful that there is still not equality for all the people, it shouldn’t matter who you love or that your white or black or mixed or whatever.
I always wanted to go to the USA but i don’t think I’ll feel comfortable, i follow the news and I’m really scared that when Trump wins, the USA will change dramatically and not for the best.
Bibi,
If you ever get the opportunity to visit America, you should. Generally, visitors are welcomed and treated well regardless of their lifestyle, heritage or beliefs. As to discrimination, I am afraid that it exists everywhere in the world. Some places more so than others. The one thing about being gay is that people do not have any particular identifying mark or characteristic which indicates that they are gay or straight or whatever. Discrimination is usually subtle and not obvious. The US has made progress toward equality through laws and the justice system at least until the most conservatives gain control of the government. The conservatives seem to want to protect the majority rather than minorities. The election here is polling close as to who may win. It is my hopes that Harris wins as another term with Trump would be disastrous for our country. But that is a personal opinion.
I think it is important for people to know history of their country and of the world. There have always been good people with good intentions and bad people with bad intentions. There have been those who wanted to control more of the world than they deserve. There are countries who give their people a greater voice in their government and those which do not. It is my hope that the world would learn to peacefully co-exist, and deal with each other honestly and fairly. But there are those who want to fair better in any deal than those they are dealing with. There are those who believe that there are those they are superior to others because of their beliefs, lifestyle, or heritage. There always has been and there always will be as far as I can tell.
My thanks for your comment.
I love how thirsty Angie is about finding out about things, always asking questions and wanting to know about history. Bette and Tina are also very knowledgeable and explain things to her beautifully but knowing Angie she will follow up on investigating on her own.
Another day spen5 together just being a family, talking together and eating together!!
Family Life at its best .
Janice24,
Angie has always been a curious child. She has been exposed to a lot of different things and much of it is not in the classroom – Arts, history and science. Like her moms, she sees the beauty and the awesomeness of the world. I think that she is one of those people who will attract and keep a lot of friends around her.
Thanks for reading and commenting. You are closing in on the end of the story.
